Description

Overview

The computer animation deals with the representation and rendering of moving three-dimensional objects in a computer; therefore it is sometimes called 4D computer graphics. Besides the treatment of some basic topics, the emphasis of the lecture computer animation lies on the representation of virtual people (avatars and animated agents).

Topics include:

Representation of Movements of Rigid Bodies

Forward and Inverse Kinematics

Animation of Faces

Motion Capture Systems

Searching in Motion Data

Editing of Motion Data

Cognitive Modeling Hierarchy

Examinations

This year we will perform oral examinations for the lecture computer animation. Actual dates will be arranged in the lecture.
